PREFACE
THIS book is the second in a series of three hymnals intended to
cover the needs of the Church through the whole range of its
public worship. The first, The Hymnal, was prepared as a complete manual
of praise, covering especially the Sunday services, but including also every
side of church worship and work; the second, The Chapel Hymnal, is
prepared for those who prefer a smaller book for use in prayer meetings,
young people's societies, and other social services ; and the last of the series
is to cover the services of the Sabbath- school.
The Chapel Hymnal consists principally of those hymns in The Hymnal
which are best adapted for use in devotional meetings and of such tunes
as can be used to good advantage on such occasions ; and ordinarily the
association of hymn and tune has been retained. In addition there have
been included in this book some standard hymns and tunes reserved for
this use when The Hymnal was prepared, together with some fresh selec-
tions of a popular character and a number of the more desirable "Gospel
Hymns."
The pages of the book are so arranged as to provide a choice of tunes
in the case of a large number of the hymns.
It is the usage of many of our churches to sing the Amen at the close
of each hymn, and the proper chords are provided for any who may wish
to use them.
In the choice of material for this book the Committee has had the
advantage of the counsel and cooperation of the Rev. George M. Boynton,
D. D., and M. C. Hazard, Ph. D., who have represented the Congregational
Sunday-School and Publishing Society, to the end that the book may be
adapted for introduction and use in the churches of both denominations.
preface
The Committee would acknowledge the favor of those who freely
granted the use of copyright hymns and tunes j especially of Messrs.
Houghton, Mifflin & Co., for the hymns of Dr. Holmes and Mr. YVhittier;
the Rev. Robert Lowry, D. D., for No. 255 j and Messrs. E. P. Dutton
& Co. and Mr. Lewis H. Redner, for No. 76.
April 20, 1898.
NOTE
As far as possible the hymns are printed as their authors wrote them. When
any changes have been adopted, the fact has invariably been noted beneath
the hymn. The dates set to the tunes are the dates of first publication. The
dates set to the hymns are the earliest dates obtainable, ordinarily that of their
composition, in some cases necessarily that of their first publication. Where two
dates are given, they indicate that of the original form of the hymn and that
of the author's revised text used in this book. The abbreviation " publ." in-
dicates that the date of writing is unknown, and that the date of publication
is posthumous. The letter c. [circa) before a date is used where exact certainty
is unobtainable. Where dates, either of hymns or tunes, are altogether wanting,
the dates of the author's or composer's birth and death are given in brackets,
e.g. (18 16-1893), or where living, that of his birth only, e.g. (1838- ), or the
date of death when that alone is known, e.g. ( -1850).

Let evil thoughts and spirits flee before us ;
Till morning cometh, watch, O Master, o'er us ;
In soul and body Thou from harm defend us,
Thine angels send us.
Let holy thoughts be ours when sleep o'ertakes us;
Our earliest thoughts be Thine when morning wakes us ;
All day serve Thee, in all that we are doing
Thy praise pursuing.
As Thy beloved, soothe the sick and weeping,
And bid the prisoner lose his griefs in sleeping ;
Widows and orphans, we to Thee commend them,
Do Thou befriend them.
We have no refuge, none on earth to aid us,
Save Thee, O Father, who Thine own hast made us ;
But Thy dear presence will not leave them lonely,
Who seek Thee only.

Through the dear Redeemer's Name,
Show Thy reconciled face ;
Take away our sin and shame ;
From our worldly cares set free,
May we rest this day in Thee.

1 WELCOME, sweet day of rest,
That saw the Lord arise :
Welcome to this reviving breast,
And these rejoicing eyes.
2 The King Himself comes near,
And feasts His saints to-day ;
Here we may sit, and see Him here,
And love, and praise, and pray.
3 Here we come Thy Name to
praise,
Let us feel Thy presence near ;
May Thy glory meet our eyes,
While we in Thy house ap-
pear :
Here afford us, Lord, a taste
Of our everlasting feast.
4 May Thy gospel's joyful sound
Conquer sinners, comfort saints ;
May the fruits of grace abound,
Bring relief for all complaints :
Thus may all our Sabbaths prove
Till we join the Church above.
Rev. John Newton, 1774: alt.
3 One day amidst the place
Where my dear God hath been,
Is sweeter than ten thousand days
Of pleasurable sin.
4 My willing soul would stay
In such a frame as this,
And wait to hail the brighter day
Of everlasting bliss.

2 Come, bless the Lord, whose love assigns 4 This heavenly calm within the breast
So sweet a rest to wearied minds, Is the dear pledge of glorious rest
Provides an antepast of heaven, ^'hich for the Church of God remains,
And gives this day the food of seven. The end of cares, the end of pains.
3 O that our thoughts and thanks may rise, 5 In holy duties let the day,
As grateful incense, to the skies ; In holy pleasures, pass away :
And draw from heaven that sweet repose How sweet a Sabbath thus to spend,
Which none but he that feels it knows. In hope of one that ne'er shall end.

And not a thought our bosom share
Which is not wholly Thine.
Let faith each meek petition fill,
And waft it to the skies ;
And teach our hearts 'tis goodness still
That grants it, or denies.

2 For Thou, within no walls confined, 4 Here may we prove the power of prayer
Inhabitest the humble mind ; To strengthen faith, and sweeten care,
Such ever bring Thee where they come, To teach our faint desires to rise,
And going, take Thee to their home. And bring all heaven before our eyes.
3 Dear Shepherd of Thy chosen few,
Thy former mercies here renew ;
Here to our waiting hearts proclaim
The sweetness of Thy saving Name.
5 Lord, we are few, but Thou art near;
Nor short Thine arm, nor deaf Thine ear:
O rend the heavens,come quickly down,
And make a thousand hearts Thine own.

And make this house Thy home ;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers,
O come, great Spirit, come.
2 Come as the light ; to us reveal
Our emptiness and woe ;
And lead us in those paths of life
Where all the righteous go.
I Corneas the fire ; and purge our hearts,
Like sacrificial flame :
Let our whole soul an offering be
To our Redeemer's Name.
4 Come as the dove ; and spread Thy
The wings of peaceful love ; [wings,
And let Thy Church on earth become
Blest as Thy Church above.
5 Spirit Divine, attend our prayers ;
Make a lost world Thy home ;
Descend with all Thy gracious powers,

i STILL with Thee, O my God, 3 With Thee amid the crowd
I would desire to be, That throngs the busy mart,
By day, by night; at home, abroad, To hear Thy voice, where time's is loud,
I would be still with Thee. Speak softly to my heart.
2 With Thee when dawn comes in
And calls me back to care,
Each day returning to begin
With Thee, my God, in prayer.
4 With Thee when day is done,
And evening calms the mind ;
The setting as the rising sun
With Thee my heart would find.
5 With Thee, in Thee, by faith
Abiding, I would be ;
By day, by night, in life, in death,
I would be still with Thee.

GOD moves in a mysterious way
His wonders to perform ;
He plants His footsteps in the sea,
And rides upon the storm.
Deep in unfathomable mines
Of never-failing skill
He treasures up His bright designs,
And works His sovereign will.
Ye fearful saints, fresh courage take ;
The clouds ye so much dread
Are big with mercy, and shall break
In blessings on your head.
Judge not the Lord by feeble sense,
But trust Him for His grace ;
Behind a frowning providence
He hides a smiling face.
Blind unbelief is sure to err,
And scan His work in vain ;
God is His own Interpreter,
And He will make it plain.

WHEN all Thy mercies, O my God,
My rising soul surveys,
Transported with the view, I'm lost
In wonder, love, and praise.
: Unnumbered comforts to my soul
Thy tender care bestowed,
Before my infant heart conceived
From whom those comforts flowed.
; When worn with sickness,oft hast Thou
With health renewed my face ;
And, when in sins and sorrows sunk,
Revived my soul with grace.
4 Ten thousand thousand precious gifts
My daily thanks employ ;
Nor is the least a cheerful heart
That tastes those gifts with joy.
5 Through every period of my life
Thy goodness I'll pursue ;
And after death, in distant worlds,
The glorious theme renew.
6 Through all eternity to Thee
A joyful song I'll raise ;
For O, eternity's too short
To utter all Thy praise.

5 Grant us Thy truth to make us free,
And ki ndling hearts that burn for Thee;
Till all Thy living altars claim
One holy light, one heavenly flame.
Oliver Wendell Holmes, 1848
Awake, asleep, at home, abroad,
I am surrounded still with God.
4 Amazing knowledge, vast and great !
What large extent, what lofty height !
My soul, with all the powers I boast,
Is in the boundless prospect lost.
5 O may these thoughts possess my
breast,
Where'er I rove, where'er I rest :
Nor let my weaker passions dare
Consent to sin, for God is there.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1719
2 Sun of our life, Thy quickening ray
Sheds on our path the glow of day ;
Star of our hope, Thy softened light
Cheers the long watches of the night.
3 Our midnight is Thy smile withdrawn;
Our noontide is Thy gracious dawn ;
Our rainbow arch, Thy mercy's sign;
All, save the clouds of sin, are Thine.
L. M.
46 (LOUVAN)
1 LORD, Thou hast searched and seen
me through;
Thine eye commands with piercing view
My rising and my resting hours,
My heart and flesh, with all their powers.
2 My thoughts, before they are my own,
Are to my God distinctly known ;
He knows the words I mean to speak,
Ere from my opening lips they break.
3 Within Thy circling power I stand ;
On every side I find Thy hand :

2 Our years are like the shadows
On sunny hills that lie,
Or grasses in the meadows
That blossom but to die ;
A sleep, a dream, a story
By strangers quickly told,
An unremaining glory
Of things that soon are old.
3 O Thou, who canst not slumber,
Whose light grows never pale,
Teach us aright to number
Our years before they fail ;
On us Thy mercy lighten,
On us Thy goodness rest,
And let Thy Spirit brighten
The hearts Thyself hast blessed.

S. M.
1 MY soul, repeat His praise
Whose mercies are so great,
Whose anger is so slow to rise,
So ready to abate.
2 High as the heavens are raised
Above the ground we tread,
So far the riches of His grace
Our highest thoughts exceed.
3 His power subdues our sins,
And His forgiving love,
Far as the east is from the west,
Doth all our guilt remove.
4 The hill of Zion yields
A thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heavenly fields,
Or walk the golden streets.
5 Then let our songs abound,
And every tear be dry ;
We're marching through Emmanuel's
ground
To fairer worlds on high.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1707: verse 2, 1. 3, alt.
4 The pity of the Lord
To those that fear His Name
Is such as tender parents feel ;
He knows our feeble frame.
5 Our days are as the grass,
Or like the morning flower ;
If one sharp blast sweep o'er the field,
It withers in an hour.
6 But Thy compassions, Lord,
To endless years endure ;
And children's children ever find
Thy words of promise sure.

Songs of sinful man ?
Can we feel that Thou art near us,
And wilt hear us ?
Yea, we can.
3 Yea, we know Thy love rejoices
O'er each work of Thine ;
Thou didst ears and hands and voices
For Thy praise combine ;
Craftsman's art and music's measure
For Thy pleasure
Didst design.

Of Thine own to Thee ;
And for Thine acceptance proffer,

From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
Absorbed in prayer and praise :

And round His pierced feet

"Worthy the Lamb that died," they
"To be exalted thus :" [cry,
"Worthy the Lamb," our lips reply,
"For He was slain for us."
Jesus is worthy to receive
Honor and power Divine ;
And blessings, more than we can give,
Be, Lord, for ever Thine.
Let all that dwell above the sky,
And air, and earth, and seas,
Conspire to lift Thy glories high,
And speak Thine endless praise.
The whole creation join in one,
To bless the sacred Name
Of Him that sits upon the throne,
And to adore the Lamb.

O FOR a thousand tongues to sing
My dear Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace.
My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad,
The honors of Thy Name.
M.
Jesus, the Name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease ;
'Tis music in the sinner's ears,
'Tis life, and health, and peace.
He breaks the power of reigning sin,
He sets the prisoner free ;
His blood can make the foulest clean,
His blood availed for me.
5 He speaks, and, listening to His voice,
New life the dead receive ;
The mournful, broken hearts rejoice ;
The humble poor believe.

Deep in adoration

Thou, that we might follow,
Hast gone up on high.

Are Thy mercies here ;
True and everlasting
Are the glories there,
Where no pain nor sorrow,

Where the angel-legions
Circle round Thy throne.

Journeying on to God ;
Leaving all behind us,
May we hasten on,
Backward never looking
Till the prize is won.
6 Higher, then, and higher,
Bear the ransomed soul,
Earthly toils forgetting,
Saviour, to its goal ;
Where in joys unthought of
Saints with angels sing,
Never weary, raising
Praises to their King.

Sing of His rising power;
Sing how He intercedes above
For those whose sins He bore.

Sing on your heavenly way,
Ye ransomed sinners, sing ;
Sing on, rejoicing every day
In Christ the Eternal King.

''Ye blessed children, come: "

Trembling and amazed bow.

1 ALL praise to Thee, Eternal Lord,
Clothed in a garb of flesh and blood ;
Choosing a manger for Thy throne,
While worlds on worlds are Thine alone.
2 Once did the skies before Thee bow ;
A Virgin's arms contain Thee now :
Angels who did in Thee rejoice
Now listen for Thine infant voice.
3 A little Child, Thou art our Guest,
That weary ones in Thee may rest ;
Far as the curse is found.
4 He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1719
Forlorn and lowly is Thy birth,
That we may rise to heaven from earth.
4 Thou comest in the darksome night
To make us children of the light,
To make us, in the realms Divine,
Like Thine own angels round Thee shine.
5 All this for us Thy love hath done ;
By this to Thee our love is won :
For this we tune our cheerful lays,
And shout our thanks in ceaseless praise.

2 For Christ is born of Mary ;
And gathered all above,
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love.
O morning stars, together
Proclaim the holy birth ;
And praises sing to God the King,
And peace to men on earth.
3 How silently, how silently,
The wondrous gift is given !
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven.
No ear may hear His coming,
But in this world of sin,
Where meek souls will receive Him still,
The dear Christ enters in.
4 O holy Child of Bethlehem,
Descend to us, we pray ;
Cast out our sin, and enter in,
Be born in us to-day.
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell ;
O come to us, abide with us,
Our Lord Emmanuel.
Bishop Phillips Brooks, i8<«$
2 Listen to the wondrous story,
Which they chant in hymns of joy:
" Glory in the highest, glory ;
Glory be to God Most High !
" Christ is born, the great Anointed ;
Heaven and earth His glory sing :
Glad receive whom God appointed
For your Prophet, Priest, and King.
3 "Peace on earth, good- will from heaven, 5 " Hasten, mortals, to adore Him ;
Reaching far as man is found ; Learn His Name, and taste His joy;
Souls redeemed, and sins forgiven; Till in heaven you sing before Him,
Loud our golden harps shall sound. Glory be to God Most High !"

1 AS with gladness men of old
Did the guiding star behold ;
As with joy they hailed its light,
Leading onward, beaming bright ;
So, most gracious God, may we
Evermore be led to Thee.
2 As with joyful steps they sped
To that lowly manger-bed,
There to bend the knee before
Him whom heaven and earth adore
So may we with willing feet
Ever seek Thy mercy-seat.
3 As they offered gifts most rare
At that manger rude and bare ;
So may we with holy joy,
Pure, and free from sin's alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to Thee, our heavenly King.
4 Holy Jesus, every day
Keep us in the narrow way ;
And, when earthly things are past,
Bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
W'here no clouds Thy glory hide.

4 O give us hearts to love like Thee
Like Thee, O Lord, to grieve
Far more for others' sins than all

From union, Lord, with Thee.

Still succoring Thine own.

Yet 'twas the Lord's abode ; Shall link us, Lord, to Thee ;

Yet here Emmanuel trod. Shall the dear kindred be.

This watch the Lord did keep,
These burdens sore the Lord did bear,
These tears the Lord did weep.

Unto the Lord of heaven ;
To every grief, to every tear,
Such glory strange is given.

Because Thy heaven we share,
Because we sing around Thy throne,
And Thy bright raiment wear.

O the pangs His soul sustained !
Shun not suffering, shame, or loss ;
Learn of Him to bear the cross.
Q2 (ZEPHYR)
L. M.
1 'TIS midnight; and on Olive's brow
The star is dimmed that lately shone :
'Tis midnight ; in the garden, now,
The suffering Saviour prays alone.
2 'Tis midnight; and, from all removed,
Emmanuel wrestles lone with fears:
E'en the disciple that He loved
Heeds not his Master's grief and tears.
Early hasten to the tomb
Where they laid His breathless clay :
All is solitude and gloom ;
Who hath taken Him away ?
Christ is risen ! He meets our eyes.
Saviour, teach us so to rise.
James Montgomery, 1820 (text of 1853)
3 'Tis midnight; and, for others' guilt,
The Man of Sorrows weeps in blood :
Yet He that hath in anguish knelt
Is not forsaken by His God.
4 'Tis midnight; from the heavenly plains
Is borne the song that angels know :
Unheard by mortals are the strains
That sweetly soothe the Saviour's woe.

When the woes of life o'ertake me,
Hopes deceive, and fears annoy,
Never shall the cross forsake me :
Lo ! it glows with peace and joy.
When the sun of bliss is beaming
Light and love upon my way,
From the cross the radiance streaming
Adds more lustre to the day.

By the cross are sanctified ;
Peace is there that knows no measure,

Gathers round its head sublime.

Upon that cross of Jesus
Mine eye at times can see
The very dying form of One
Who suffered there for me :
And from my smitten heart with tears
Two wonders I confess, —
The wonders of His glorious love
And my own worthlessness.
I take, O cross, thy shadow
For my abiding-place :
I ask no other sunshine than
The sunshine of His face ;
Content to let the world go by,
To know no gain nor loss,
My sinful self my only shame,
My glory all the cross.

Was it for crimes that I had done
He groaned upon the tree !
Amazing pity ! Grace unknown !
And love beyond degree !
Well might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When He, the mighty Maker, died
For man the creature's sin.
4 Thus might I hide my blushing face
While His dear cross appears;
Dissolve my heart in thankfulness,
And melt my eyes to tears.
5 But drops of grief can ne'er repay
The debt of love I owe ;
Here, Lord, I give myself away,
'Tis all that I can do.

4 And when He stooped to earth,
And suffered rude disdain,
They cast their honors at His feet,
And waited in His train.
5 They saw Him on the cross,
While darkness veiled the skies,
And when He burst the gates of death,
They saw the Conqueror rise.
6 They thronged His chariot-wheels,
And bore Him to His throne ;
Then swept their golden harps, and sang,
"The glorious work is done."

[ LIGHT of the lonely pilgrim's heart,
Star of the coming day,
Arise, and with Thy morning beams
Chase all our griefs away.
2 Come, blessed Lord, bid every shore
And answering island sing
The praises of Thy royal Name,
And own Thee as their King.
5 Lord, Lord, Thy fair creation groans,
The air, the earth, the sea,

To judge the nations at Thy bar ;
And tell me, Lord, shall I be there
To meet a joyful doom ?
3 Then, Saviour, then my soul re-

Transported from the vale, to live
And reign with Thee above,
Where faith is sweetly lost insight,
And hope in full, supreme delight,
And everlasting love.

And calls aloud for Thee.

With one awakening smile, [power,

Of grace and peace Divine :

Of everlasting peace ;

2 Come, for Thy saints still wait ;
Daily ascends their sigh :
The Spirit and the Bride say," Come"
Dost Thou not hear the cry ?

Impatient of Thy stay,
Worn out with these long years of ill,
These ages of delay.

1 COME, Holy Spirit, come,
Let Thy bright beams arise ;
Dispel the darkness from our minds,
And open all our eyes.
2 Cheer our desponding hearts,
Thou heavenly Paraclete ;
Give us to lie with humble hope
At our Redeemer's feet.
3 Revive our drooping faith,
Our doubts and fears remove,
And kindle in our breasts the flame
Of never-dying love.
4 Convince us of our sin,
Then lead to Jesus' blood,
And to our wondering view reveal
The secret love of God.
5 'Tis Thine to cleanse the heart,
To sanctify the soul,
To pour fresh life on every part,
And new-create the whole.
6 Dwell therefore in our hearts,
Our minds from bondage free ;
Then we shall know, and praise, and
The Father, Son, and Thee, [love

1 GRACIOUS Spirit, Holy Ghost,
Taught by Thee, we covet most,
Of Thy gifts at Pentecost,
Holy, heavenly love.
2 Faith, that mountains could remove,
Tongues of earth or heaven above,
Knowledge, all things, empty prove,
Without heavenly love.
3 Love is kind, and suffers long ;
Love is meek, and thinks no wrong ;
Love than death itself more strong ;
Therefore, give us love.
4 Faith will vanish into sight ;
Hope be emptied in delight ;
Love in heaven will shine more bright
Therefore, give us love.
5 Faith and hope and love we see,
Joining hand in hand, agree ;
But the greatest of the three,
And the best, is love.
6 From the overshadowing
Of Thy gold and silver wing,
Shed on us who to Thee sing
Holy, heavenly love.

1 THE Spirit breathes upon the word,
And brings the truth to sight;
Precepts and promises afford
A sanctifying light.
2 A glory gilds the sacred page,
Majestic, like the sun :
It gives a light to every age ;
It gives, but borrows none.
3 The Hand that gave it still supplies
The gracious light and heat :
Then shall all bondage cease,
All fetters fall ;
And I shall find my peace,
My All in all.
Mary Ann Lathbury, 1877
His truths upon the nations rise ;
They rise, but never set.
4 Let everlasting thanks be Thine
For such a bright display
As makes a world of darkness shine
With beams of heavenly day.

The steps of Him I love,
Till glory break upon my view
In brighter worlds above.

The paths of peace have trod ;

The lily must decay ;
The rose that blooms beneath the hill
Must shortly fade away :
4 And soon, too soon, the wintry hour

Will shake the soul with sorrow's power
And stormy passion's rage.
5 O Thou, whose infant feet were found

'Tis midnight with my soul till He, No tear to wipe, no good to crave,
Bright Morning Star, bid darkness flee. No fears to quell, no soul to save.
6 Till then — nor is my boasting vain —
Till then I boast a Saviour slain ;
And O may this my glory be,
That Christ is not ashamed of me.
Rev. Joseph Grigg, 1765 : alt. Rev. Benjamin Francis, 3787

1 NOW I resolve with all my heart,
With all my powers, to serve the
Lord ;
Nor from His precepts e'er depart
Whose service is a rich reward.
2 O be His service all my joy ;
Around let my example shine,
Till others love the blest employ,
And join in labors so Divine.
Be this the purpose of my soul,
My solemn, my determined choice,
To yield to His supreme control,
And in His kind commands rejoice.
O may I never faint nor tire, [ways :
Nor wandering leave His sacred
Great God, accept my soul's desire,
And give me strength to live Thy
praise.

1 ACCORDING to Thy gracious word, 4 When to the cross I turn mine eyes,
In meek humility, And rest on Calvary,
This will I do, my dying Lord, O Lamb of God, my Sacrifice,
I will remember Thee. I must remember Thee ;
2 Thy body, broken for my sake,
My bread from heaven shall be ;
Thy testamental cup I take,
And thus remember Thee.
3 Gethsemane can I forget?
Or there Thy conflict see,
Thine agony and bloody sweat,
And not remember Thee ?
5 Remember Thee, and all Thy pains,
And all Thy love to me :
Yea, while a breath, a pulse remains,
Will I remember Thee.
6 And when these failing lips grow dumb,
And mind and memory flee,
When Thou shalt inThy kingdom come,
Jesus, remember me.

2 I am not worthy to be thought Thy child,
Nor sit the last and lowest at Thy board ;
Too long a wanderer and too oft beguiled,
I only ask one reconciling word.
3 One word from Thee, my Lord, one smile, one look,
And I could face the cold, rough world again ;
And with that treasure in my heart could brook
The wrath of devils and the scorn of men.
4 I hear Thy voice ; Thou bidd'st me come and rest ;
I come, I kneel, I clasp Thy pierced feet ;
Thou bidd'st me take my place, a welcome guest
Among Thy saints, and of Thy banquet eat.
5 My praise can only breathe itself in prayer,
My prayer can only lose itself in Thee ;
Dwell Thou for ever in my heart, and there,
Lord, let me sup with Thee ; sup Thou with me.

Which from Thy sorrows flow.

In strength of which we travel on

But do not then depart ;

2 Thy truth unchanged hath ever stood ; 4 Our restless spirits yearn for Thee,
Thou savest those that on Thee call; Where'er our changeful lot is cast ;
To them that seek Thee Thou art good, Glad when Thy gracious smile we see,
To them that find Thee All in all. Blest when our faith can hold Thee fast.
3 We taste Thee, O Thou living Bread, 5 O Jesus, ever with us stay,
And long to feast upon Thee still \ Make all our moments calm and bright;
We drink of Thee, the Fountain-head, Chase the dark night of sin away,
And thirst our souls from Thee to fill. Shed o'er the world Thy holy light.

Rich banquet of His flesh and blood ! And furnished well with joyful guests :

That sacred stream, that heavenly food ! That here its sacred pledges tastes.

2 Strong in the Lord of hosts,
And in His mighty power,
Who in the strength of Jesus trusts
Is more than conqueror.
3 Stand then in His great might,
With all His strength endued ;
But take, to arm you for the fight,
The panoply of God :
4 That, having all things done,
And all your conflicts passed,
Ye may o'ercome through Christ alone,
And stand entire at last
5 From strength to strength go on ;
Wrestle, and fight, and pray ;
Tread all the powers of darkness down,
And win the well-fought day.
6 Still let the Spirit cry
In all His soldiers, "Come,"
Till Christ the Lord descends from
And takes the conquerors home.

YE servants of the Lord,
Each in his office wait,
Observant of His heavenly word,
And watchful at His gate.
Let all your lamps be bright,
And trim the golden flame ;
Gird up your loins, as in His sight,
For awful is His Name.
Watch: 'tis your Lord's command,
And while we speak, He's near;
Rev. Charles Wesley, 1749
Mark the first signal of His hand,
And ready all appear.
4 O happy servant he
In such a posture found !
He shall his Lord with rapture see,
And be with honor crowned.
5 Christ shall the banquet spread
With His own royal hand,
And raise that favorite servant's head
Amidst the angelic band.

O 'tis not in grief to harm me
While Thy love is left to me;
O 'twere not in joy to charm me,

3 Take, my soul, thy full salvation,
Rise o'er sin and fear and care;

Something still to do or bear ;
Think what Spirit dwells within thee,

2 If you cannot cross the ocean,
And the heathen lands explore,
You can find the heathen nearer,
You can help them at your door.
If you cannot give your thousands,
You can give the widow's mite ;
And the least you give for Jesus
Will be precious in His sight.
3 If you cannot speak like angels,
If you cannot preach like Paul,
You can tell the love of Jesus,
You can say He died for all.
If you cannot rouse the wicked
With the judgment's dread alarms,
You can lead the little children
To the Saviour's waiting arms.
Let none hear you idly saying,
"There is nothing I can do,"
While the souls of men are dying,
And the Master calls for you :
Take the task He gives you gladly,
Let His work your pleasure be ;
Answer quickly when He calleth,
"Here am I; send me, send me."

And shall be o'er its foes :

Our captives, ransomed souls.

2 In silence of the lonely night,
In the full glow of day's clear light,
Through life's strange windings, dark
We follow Thee, [or bright,
3 With enemies on every side,
We lean on Thee, the Crucified ;
Forsaking all on earth beside,
We follow Thee.
4 O Master, point Thou out the way,
Nor suffer Thou our steps to stray ;
Then in the path that leads to day
We follow Thee.
5 Whom have we in the heaven above,
Whom on this earth, save Thee, to love ?
Still in Thy light we onward move ;
We follow Thee.

1 SO let our lips and lives express
The holy gospel we profess ;
So let our works and virtues shine,
To prove the doctrine all Divine.
2 Thus shall we best proclaim abroad
The honors of our Saviour God ;
When His salvation reigns within,
And grace subdues the power of
sin.
4 O teach me, Lord, that I may teach
The precious things Thou dost im-
part ;
And wing my words, that they may
reach
The hidden depths of many a heart.
5 O use me, Lord, use even me,
Just as Thou wilt, and when, and
where ;
Until Thy blessed face I see,
Thy rest, Thy joy, Thy glory share.
Frances R. Havergal, 1872
3 Our flesh and sense must be denied,
Passion and envy, lust and pride ;
While justice, temperance, truth, and

Our inward piety approve.
4 Religion bears our spirits up,
While we expect that blessed hope,
The bright appearance of the Lord ;
And faith stands leaning on His word.

Lead on, O King Eternal,
Till sin's fierce war shall cease,
And Holiness shall whisper
The sweet Amen of peace ;
For not with swords loud clashing,
Nor roll of stirring drums,
But deeds of love and mercy,
The heavenly kingdom comes.
3 Lead on, O King Eternal :
We follow, not with fears;
For gladness breaks like morning
W r here'er Thy face appears ;
Thy cross is lifted o'er us ;
We journey in its light :
The crown awaits the conquest ;
Lead on, O God of might.

2 O happy if ye labor
As Jesus did for men ;
O happy if ye hunger
As Jesus hungered then.
3 The cross that Jesus carried
He carried as your due ;
The crown that Jesus weareth
He weareth it for you.
4 The trials that beset you,
The sorrows ye endure,
The manifold temptations
That death alone can cure,
5 What are they but His jewels
Of right celestial worth?
What are they but the ladder
Set up to heaven on earth ?
O happy band of pilgrims,
Look upward to the skies,
Where such a light affliction
Shall win you such a prize.

And let love's treasures still be spent,
Like His, upon the poor.

distress,
Who bore the world's sad weight,
We, in their crowded loneliness,
Would seek the desolate.
3 For Thou hast placed us side by side
In this wide world of ill ;
And, that Thy followers may be

Yet Thou hast taught us, Lord,
If given for the Saviour's sake,
They lose not their reward.

As stewards true receive,
And gladly, as Thou blessest us,
To Thee our first-fruits give.
3 O hearts are bruised and dead,
And homes are bare and cold,
And lambs for whom the Shepherd bled
Are straying from the fold.

To find a balm for woe,

To tend the lone and fatherless,

To teach the way of life and peace, —

Though dim pur faith may be,
Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord,
We do it unto Thee.

2 O joy, to see that Master dear !
O joy, to live with Him so near !
O joy, that gentle voice to hear !
3 O more than joy, to that dear Lord,
In purest, deepest love adored,
All lowly service to afford !
4 O Jesus, throned above the height,
Adoring troops of angels bright
Wait on Thy bidding day and night
5 Thy sacred form we cannot see,
Yet, Lord, these hands may render Thee
Each lowly act of charity.
6 For while 'mid want and woe we move,
And tend Thy poor in gentle love,
We minister to Thee above.

Our poor cold love, our nothingness :
Yet Thou wilt own, and Thou wilt bless.

[ THE morning light is breaking,
The darkness disappears ;
The sons of earth are waking
To penitential tears;
Each breeze that sweeps the ocean
Brings tidings from afar
Of nations in commotion,
Prepared for Zion's war.
See heathen nations bending
Before the God we love,
And thousand hearts ascending
In gratitude above ;
While sinners, now confessing,
The gospel call obey,
And seek the Saviour's blessing,
A nation in a day.
Blest river of salvation,
Pursue thy onward way ;
Flow thou to every nation,
Nor in thy richness stay :
Stay not till all the lowly
Triumphant reach their home ;
Stay not till all the holy
Proclaim, " The Lord is come.

Long years were spent for me
In weariness and woe,
That through eternity
Thy glory I might know:
Tong years were spent for me ;
Have I spent one for Thee ?
And Thou hast brought to me
Down from Thy home above
Salvation full and free,
Thy pardon and Thy love :
Great gifts Thou broughtest me ;
What have I brought to Thee ?
4 O let my life be given,
My years for Thee be spent ;
World-fetters all be riven,
And joy with suffering blent :
Thou gav'st Thyself for me,
I give myself to Thee.

2 The dying thief rejoiced to see
That fountain in his day;
And there have I, as vile as he,
Washed all my sins away.
3 Dear dying Lamb, Thy precious blood
Shall never lose its power
Till all the ransomed Church
of God
Be saved, to sin no more.
4 E'er since by faith I saw the
stream
Thy flowing wounds supply,
Redeeming love has been my
theme,
And shall be till I die.
Then in a nobler, sweeter song
I'll sing Thy power to save,
When this poor lisping, stammering
Lies silent in the grave.
William Cowper,

NOT all the blood of beasts
On Jewish altars slain,
Could give the guilty conscience peace,
Or wash away the stain :
But Christ, the heavenly Lamb,
Takes all our sins away,
A sacrifice of nobler name
And richer blood than they.
3 My faith would lay her hand
On that dear head of Thine,
While like a penitent I stand,
And there confess my sin.
4 My soul looks back to see
The burdens Thou didst bear,
When hanging on the cursed tree,
And hopes her guilt was there.

2 There's a wideness in God's mercy,
Like the wideness of the sea ;
There's a kindness in His justice,
Which is more than liberty.
There is welcome for the sinner,
And more graces for the good ;
There is mercy with the Saviour,
There is healing in His blood ;
3 There is plentiful redemption
In the blood that has been shed j
There is joy for all the members
In the sorrows of the Head.
If our love were but more simple,
We should take Him at His word ;
And our lives would be all sunshine
In the sweetness of our Lord.

Fill thy weak soul with vain alarm ;
His strength shall bear thy spirit up,
And brace thy heart, and nerve

3 Take up thy cross; nor heed the shame,
And let thy foolish pride be still;
Thy Lord refused not e'en to die
Upon a cross, on Calvary's hill.
4 Take up thy cross, then, in His strength,
And calmly sin's wild deluge brave;
'Twill guide thee to a better home,
It points to glory o'er the grave.
5 Take up thy cross, and follow on,
Nor think till death to lay it down ;
For only he who bears the cross
May hope to wear the glorious crown.

1 BEHOLD ! a Stranger's at the door ;
He gently knocks, has knocked before ;
Has waited long, is waiting still :
You treat no other friend so ill.
2 But will He prove a friend indeed?
He will, the very Friend you need ;
The Man of Nazareth, 'tis He,
With garments dyed at Calvary.
3 O lovely attitude ! He stands
With melting heart and laden hands :
O matchless kindness ! and He shows
This matchless kindness to His foes.
4 Rise, touched with gratitude Divine;
Turn out His enemy and thine,
That soul-destroying monster, sin,
And let the heavenly Stranger in.
5 Admit Him ere His anger burn ;
His feet, departed, ne'er return:
Admit Him, or the hour's at hand
When at His door denied you'll stand.

2 O Jesus, Thou art knocking ;
And lo, that hand is scarred,
And thorns Thy brow encircle,
And tears Thy face have marred :
O love that passeth knowledge,
So patiently to wait !
O sin that hath no equal,
So fast to bar the gate !
3 O Jesus, Thou art pleading
In accents meek and low,
" I died for you, My children,
And will ye treat Me so?"
O Lord, with shame and sorrow
We open now the door ;
Dear Saviour, enter, enter,
And leave us nevermore.

How often I have come ;
Although I oft have wandered,
It is my Father's home.

SALVATION ! O the joyful sound ;
'Tis pleasure to our ears,
A sovereign balm for every wound,
A cordial for our fears.
Buried in sorrow and in sin,
At hell's dark door we lay ;
Come to the Saviour, all,
Whate'er your burdens be ;
Hear now His loving call,
" Cast all your care on Me.'
Come, and for every grief
In Jesus you will find
A sure and safe relief,
A loving Friend, and kind.

2 Day is declining, and the sun is low ;
The shadows lengthen, light makes haste to go :
Room, room, still room ! O enter, enter now.
3 The bridal hall is filling for the feast ;
Pass in, pass in, and be the Bridegroom's guest:
Room, room, still room ! O enter, enter now.
4 Yet there is room : still open stands the gate,
The gate of love ; it is not yet too late :
Room, room, still room ! O enter, enter now.
5 Louder and sweeter sounds the loving call ;
Come, lingerer, come ; enter that festal hall :
Room, room, still room ! O enter, enter now.
6 Ere night that gate may close, and seal thy doom ;
Then the last low, long cry, " No room, no room !"
No room, no room ! O woeful cry, " No room !"

Though the feet in weakness stray,

2 So vile I am, how dare I hope to stand
In the pure glory of that holy land ?
Before the whiteness of that throne appear ?
Yet there are hands stretched out to draw me near.
3 The while I fain would tread the heavenly way,
Evil is ever with me day by day ;
Yet on mine ears the gracious tidings fall,
" Repent, confess, thou shalt be loosed from all."
4 It is the voice of Jesus that I hear ;
His are the hands stretched out to draw me near,
And His the blood that can for all atone,
And set me faultless there before the throne.
5 Yea, Thou wilt answer for me, righteous Lord ;
Thine all the merits, mine the great reward ;
Thine the sharp thorns, and mine the golden crown ;
Mine the life won, and Thine the life laid down.

O'er the grave where Lazarus slept,
By the boding tears that flowed
Over Salem's loved abode,
By the anguished sigh that told
Treachery lurked within Thy fold, —
From Thy seat above the sky
Hear our solemn litany.

By Thy life of want and tears,
By Thy days of sore distress
In the savage wilderness,
By the dread mysterious hour
Of the insulting tempter's power,-

By Thine hour of dire despair,
By Thine agony of prayer,
By the cross, the nail, the thorn,
Piercing spear, and torturing scorn,
By the gloom that veiled the skies
O'er the dreadful sacrifice, —
Listen to our humble cry,
Hear our solemn litany.
By Thy deep expiring groan,
By the sad sepulchral stone,
By the vault whose dark abode
Held in vain the rising God, —

Mighty, re-ascended Lord,
Listen, listen to the cry
Of our solemn litany.

Cries, " How shall I give Thee up?"

2 Lord, I confess to Thee
Sadly my sin ;
All I am tell I Thee,
All I have been :
Purge Thou my sin away,
Wash Thou my soul this day ;
Lord, make me clean.
3 Faithful and just art Thou,
Forgiving all ;
Loving and kind art Thou
When poor ones call :
Lord, let the cleansing blood,
Blood of the Lamb of God,
Pass o'er my soul.
4 Then all is peace and light
This soul within ;
Thus shall I walk with Thee,
The loved Unseen ;
Leaning on Thee, my God,
Guided along the road,
Nothing between.
Rev. Horatius Bonar, 1866

1 O Thou that hear'st when sinners cry,
Though all my crimes before Thee lie,
Behold them not with angry look,
But blot their memory from Thy book.
2 Create my nature pure within,
And form my soul averse to sin ;
Let Thy good Spirit ne'er depart,
Nor hide Thy presence from my heart.
3 I cannot live without Thy light,
Cast out and banished from Thy sight
Thy holy joys, my God, restore,
And guard me, that I fall no more.
4 A broken heart, my God, my King,
Is all the sacrifice I bring ;
The God of grace will ne'er despise
A broken heart for sacrifice.

3 Jesus my Shepherd is ;
'Twas He that loved my soul,
' Twas He that washed me in His blood,
'Twas He that made me whole ;
'Twas He that sought the lost,
That found the wandering sheep,
'Twas He that brought me to the fold,
'Tis He that still doth keep.
4 I was a wandering sheep,
I would not be controlled ;
But now I love my Shepherd's voice,
I love, I love the fold.
I was a wayward child,
I once preferred to roam ;

I love, I love His home.

Humbly I confess my sin ;
At Thy feet, O Father, falling,
To Thy household take me in.

Freely life and soul I offer,
Gift unworthy love like Thine.

Bore our sins upon the tree ;

I must be for ever blest.

3 Thou earnest, O Lord,
With the living word
That should set Thy people free ;
But with mocking scorn,
And with crown of thorn,
They bore Thee to Calvary :
O come to my heart, Lord Jesus,
Thy cross is my only plea.
4 When heaven's arches shall ring,
And her choirs shall sing,
At Thy coming to victory.
Let Thy voice call me home,
Saying, "Yet there is room.
There is room at My side for thee."
And my heart shall rejoice, Lord Jesus,
When Thou comest and callest for me.

Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire ;
As Thou hast died for me,
O may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.
While life's dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my Guide ;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow's tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4 W T hen ends life's transient dream,
When death's cold, sullen stream
Shall o'er me roll,

Fear and distrust remove ;

Leave, ah ! leave me not alone,
Still support and comfort me.

Lo, I sink, I faint, I fall !
Lo, on Thee I cast my care ;
Reach me out Thy gracious hand !
While I of Thy strength receive,
Hoping against hope I stand,
Dying, and behold I live !
4 Thou, O Christ, art all I want ;
More than all in Thee I find :
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint,
Heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is Thy Name ;
I am all unrighteousness ;
False and full of sin I am,
Thou art full of truth and grace.
5 Plenteous grace with Thee is found,
Grace to cover all my sin ;
Let the healing streams abound ;
Make and keep me pure within.

Freely let me take of Thee ;
Spring Thou up within my heart,
Rise to all eternity.

His right hand me embraces,
I on His breast recline.
I love the Name of Jesus,
Emmanuel, Christ, the Lord
Like fragrance on the breezes
His Name abroad is poured.
4 I long to be like Jesus,
Meek, loving, lowly, mild ;
I long to be like Jesus,
The Father's holy Child :
I long to be with Jesus
Amid the heavenly throng,
To sing with saints His praises,
To learn the angels' song.

2 Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfil Thy law's demands ;
Could my zeal no respite know,
Could' my tears for ever flow,
All for sin could not atone ;

Simply to Thy cross I cling ;

Helpless, look to Thee for grace ;

When my eyelids close in death,
When I soar to worlds unknown,
See Thee on Thy judgment throne,

Let me hide myself in Thee.

Though flesh may faint upon the field;

And'we, His followers here,
Must do Thy will and praise Thy Name,
In hope, and love, and fear.
6 And, till in heaven we sinless bow,
And faultless anthems raise,
O Father, Son, and Spirit, now
Accept our feeble praise.
Rev. William J. Irons, 1844
2 Thy love the powers of thought be-
stowed ;
To Thee my thoughts would soar-:
Thy mercy o'er my life has flowed;
That mercy I adore.
3 In each event of life, how clear
Thy ruling hand I see ;
Each blessing to my soul more dear
Because conferred by Thee.
4 In every joy that crowns my days,
In every pain I bear,
263 (BEATITUDO) C. M.
1 FATHER of Love, our Guide and
O lead us gently on, [Friend,
Until life's trial time shall end,
And heavenly peace be won.
2 We know not what the path may be
As yet by us untrod ;
But we can trust our all to Thee,
Our Father and our God.
3 If called, like Abraham's child, to climb
The hill of sacrifice,
Some angel may be there in time;
Deliverance shall arise :

4 My table Thou hast furnished
In presence of my foes;
My head Thou dost with oil anoint,
And my cup overflows.
2 My soul He doth restore again ;
And me to walk doth make
Within the paths of righteousness,
Ev'n for His own Name's sake.
3 Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale, 5 Goodness and mercy all my life
Yet will I fear none ill ; t Shall surely follow me ;
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod And in God's house for evermore
And staff me comfort still. My dwelling-place shall be.

C. M.
1 O GOD of Bethel, by whose hand
Thy people still are fed,
Who through this weary pilgrimage
Hast all our fathers led,
3 Through each perplexing path of life
Our wandering footsteps guide ;
Give us each day our daily bread,
And raiment fit provide.
2 Our vows, our prayers, we now present 4 O spread Thy covering wings around
Before Thy throne of grace ; Till all our wanderings cease,
God of our fathers, be the God And at our Father's loved abode
Of their succeeding race. Our souls arrive in peace.
5 Such blessings from Thy gracious hand
Our humble prayers implore ;
And Thou shalt be our chosen God,
And portion evermore.

No change my heart shall fear,
And safe is such confiding,
For nothing changes here.
The storm may roar without me,
My heart may low be laid ;
But God is round about me,
And can I be dismayed ?

Xo want shall turn me back ;
My Shepherd is beside me,
And nothing can I lack.

And I will walk with Him.

Where the dark clouds have been.
My hope I cannot measure,
The path to life is free ;
My Saviour has my treasure,
And He will walk with me.

While He affords His aid
I cannot yield to fear ;
Though I should walk through death's

My Shepherd's with me there.
The bounties of Thy love

Nor from Thy house will I remove,

hurled Supplies the city of our God ;
Down to the deep, and buried there, Life, love, and joy, still gliding through,
Convulsions shake the solid world,

Sweet peace Thy promises afford,
And give new strength to fainting

How kind His precepts are !
Come, cast your burdens on the Lord,
And trust His constant care.
2 While Providence supports,
Let saints securely dwell ;
That hand, which bears all nature up,
Shall guide His children well.
3 Why should this anxious load
Press down your weary mind ?
Haste to your heavenly Father's throne,
And sweet refreshment find.
4 His goodness stands approved,
Down to the present day;
I'll drop my burden at His feet,
And bear a song away.

Those whom Jesus once hath loved
From His grace are never moved.

That shall stand which God hath wrought
His compassion, love, and power

Thy sovereign will denies,
Accepted at Thy throne of grace,
Let this petition rise :

From every murmur free ;

In succession thou mayst see ;
This is still thy sweet relief:
"As thy days thy strength shall be.

With Thy promise, full and free,
Faithful, positive, and sure,

2 We may not climb the heavenly steeps
To bring the Lord Christ down ;
In vain we search the lowest deeps,
For Him no depths can drown :
3 But warm, sweet, tender, even yet
A present Help is He ;
And faith has still its Olivet,
And love its Galilee.
4 The healing of His seamless dress
Is by our beds of pain ;
We touch Him in life's throng and
And we are whole again. [press,
5 Through Him the first fond prayers are
Our lips of childhood frame ; [said
The last low whispers of our dead
Are burdened with His Name.
6 Our Lord, and Master of us all,
Whate'er our name or sign,
We own Thy sway, we hear Thy call,
We test our lives by Thine.
John G. Whittier, 1866
287 (ORTONVILLE or FAITH) C
1 MAJESTIC sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Saviour's brow ;
His head with radiant glories crowned,
His lips with grace o'erflow.
2 No mortal can with Him compare,
Among the sons of men ;
Fairer is He than all the fair
That fill the heavenly train.
3 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
He flew to my relief;
For me He bore the shameful cross,
And carried all my grief.
M.
4 To Him I owe my life and breath,
And all the joys I have ;
He makes me triumph over death,
And saves me from the grave.
5 To heaven, the place of His abode,
He brings my weary feet ;
Shows me the glories of my God,
And makes my joys complete.
6 Since from His bounty I receive
Such proofs of love Divine,
Had I a thousand hearts to give,
Lord, they should all be Thine.

2 When once Thou visitest the heart, 4 May every heart confess Thy Name,
Then truth begins to shine, And ever Thee adore ;
Then earthly vanities depart, And seeking Thee, itself inflame
Then kindles love Divine. To seek Thee more and more.
3 O Jesus, Light of all below, 5 Thee may our tongues for ever bless ;
Thou Fount of life and fire, Thee may we love alone ;
Surpassing all the joys we know, And ever in our lives express
And all we can desire ! The image of Thine own.

3 Dear Name ! the Rock on which I build,
My Shield and Hiding-place,
My never-failing Treasury, filled
With boundless stores of grace ;
4 Jesus, my Shepherd, Brother, Friend,
My Prophet, Priest, and King,
My Lord, my Life, my Way, my End,
Accept the praise I bring.
5 Weak is the effort of my heart,
And cold my warmest thought ;
But when I see Thee as Thou art,
I'll praise Thee as I ought.

With every fleeting breath ;
And may the music of Thy Name
Refresh my soul in death.

1 JESUS, I love Thy charming Name,
'Tis music to mine ear ;
Fain would I sound it out so loud
That earth and heaven should hear.
2 Yes, Thou art precious to my soul,
My Transport and my Trust j
Jewels to Thee are gaudy toys,
And gold is sordid dust.
3 All my capacious powers can wish
In Thee doth richly meet ;
Not to mine eyes is light so dear,
Nor friendship half so sweet.
4 Thy grace still dwells upon my heart,
And sheds its fragrance there ;
The noblest balm of all its wounds,
The cordial of its care.
Rev. Philip Doddridge, 1717
2 lis only in lhee hiding, 3 boon shall my eyes behold lhee,
I know my life secure ; With rapture, face to face ;
Only in Thee abiding, One half hath not been told me
The conflict can endure : Of all Thy power and grace ;
Thine arm the victory gaineth Thy beauty, Lord, and glory,
O'er every hateful foe ; The wonders of Thy love,
Thy love my heart sustaineth Shall be the endless story
In all its care and woe. Of all Thy saints above.
Rev. James G. Deck. 1842
3 Come, Almighty to deliver,
Let us all Thy life receive ;
Suddenly return, and never,
Never more Thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,
Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,
Glory in Thy perfect love.
4 Finish, then, Thy new creation ;
Pure and spotless let us be :
Let us see Thy great salvation
Perfectly restored in Thee ;
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heaven we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before Thee,
Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Remember Calvary's tree,
Remember all Thy dying groans,
And then remember me.
3 Thou wondrous Advocate with God,

While Thou art pleading on the throne,
Dear Lord, remember me.
4 Lord, I am guilty, I am vile,
But Thy salvation's free ;
Then, in Thine all-abounding grace,
Dear Lord, remember me.
5 Howe'er forsaken or despised,
Howe'er oppressed I be,
Howe'er forgotten here on earth,
Do Thou remember me.
6 And when I close my eyes in death,
And human help shall flee,
Then, then, my dear redeeming God,
O then remember me.

3 When He lived on earth abased,

1 IF Christ is mine, then all is mine,
And more than angels know;
Both present things and things to come,
And grace and glory too.
2 If He is mine, then, though He frown,
He never will forsake ;
His chastisements all work for good,
And but His love bespeak.
3 If he is mine, I need not fear
The rage of earth and hell;
He will support my feeble frame,
And all their power repel.
4 If He is mine, let friends forsake,
And earthly comforts flee ;
He, the Dispenser of all good,
Is more than these to me.
5 If He is mine, I'll fearless pass
Through death's tremendous vale;
He'll be my Comfort and my Stay
W r hen heart and flesh shall fail.
6 Let Jesus tell me He is mine,
I nothing want beside :
My soul shall at the Fountain live
When all the streams are dried.

2 Should earth against my soul engage, 3 Let cares like a wild deluge come,
And hellish darts be hurled, And storms of sorrow fall,
Then I can smile at Satan's rage, May I but safely reach my home,
And face a frowning world. My God, my heaven, my all :
4 There shall I bathe my weary soul
In seas of heavenly rest,
And not a wave of trouble roll
Across my peaceful breast.
Rev. Isaac Watts, 1707

1 O FOR a heart to praise my God,
A heart from sin set free ;
A heart that always feels Thy blood.
So freely spilt for me !
3 A humble, lowly, contrite heart,
Believing, true, and clean,
Which neither life nor death can part
From Him that dwells within ;
2 A heart resigned, submissive, meek, 4 A heart in every thought renewed,
My great Redeemer's throne ; And full of love Divine ;
Where only Christ is heard to speak, Perfect, and right, and pure, and good,
Where Jesus reigns alone ; A copy, Lord, of Thine.
5 Thy nature, gracious Lord, impart ;
Come quickly from above ;
Write Thy new Name upon my heart,
Thy new, best Name of Love.

1 FAR from my heavenly home,
Far from my Father's breast,
Fainting I cry, "Blest Spirit, come
And speed me to my rest."
2 Upon the willows long
My harp has silent hung :
How should I sing a cheerful song
Till thou inspire my tongue ?
3 My spirit homeward turns,
And fain would thither flee :
Where Jesus knelt to share with
Thee
The silence of eternity,
Interpreted by love !
4 With that deep hush subduing
fl all
JJ Our words and works that drown
The tender whisper of Thy call,
As noiseless let Thy blessing fall
As fell Thy manna down.
Drop Thy still dews of quietness,
Till all our strivings cease ; [stress,
Take from our souls the strain and
And let our ordered lives confess
The beauty of Thy peace.
John G. Whittier, 1872
My heart, O Zion, droops and yearns
When I remember thee.
4 To thee, to thee I press, f
A dark and toilsome road :
When shall I pass the wilderness,
And reach the saints' abode ?
5 God of my life, be near ;
On Thee my hopes I cast :
O guide me through the desert here,
And bring me home at last.

Be Thou my Light, be Thou my Way ;

When sinks my heart in waves of woe,

1 MY God, permit me not to be
A stranger to myself and Thee ;
Amidst a thousand thoughts I rove,
Forgetful of my highest love.
2 Why should my passions mix with
earth,
And thus debase my heavenly birth ?
Why should I cleave to things
below,
And let my God, my Saviour, go ?
3 Call me away from flesh and sense :
One sovereign word can draw me
thence ;
I would obey the voice Divine,
And all inferior joys resign.
4 Be earth, with all her scenes, with-
drawn,
Let noise and vanity be gone ;
In secret silence of the mind
My heaven, and there my God, I find.

Anew from day to day, And make me wholly Thine,
In joys the world can never give, That I may never more depart,
Nor ever take away. Nor grieve Thy love Divine.
4 Thus, till my last expiring breath,
Thy goodness I'll adore ;
And when my frame dissolves in death,
My soul shall love Thee more.

1 FORTH in Thy Name, O Lord, I
My daily labor to pursue ;
Thee, only Thee, resolved to know
In all I think, or speak, or do.
2 The task Thy wisdom hath assigned
O let me cheerfully fulfil ;.
In all my works Thy presence find,
And prove Thy good and perfect
will.
3 Preserve me from my calling's snare,
And hide my simple heart above ;
Above the thorns of choking care,
The gilded baits of worldly love.
4 Thee may I set at my right hand,
Whose eyes mine inmost substance
see,
And labor on at Thy command,
And offer all my works to Thee.
5 Give me to bear Thy easy yoke,
And every moment watch and pray ;
And still to things eternal look,
And hasten to Thy glorious day :
6 For Thee delightfully employ [given,
Whate'er Thy bounteous grace hath
And run my course with even joy,
And closely walk with Thee to
heaven.

Temptation without, and corruption within :
E'en the rapture of pardon is mingled with fears,
And the cup of thanksgiving with penitent tears.
I would not live alway ; no, welcome the tomb :
Since Jesus hath lain there, I dread not its gloom ;
There sweet be my rest, till Pie bid me arise
To hail Him in triumph descending the skies.

1 O WHERE shall rest be found,
Rest for the weary soul ?
'Twere vain the ocean-depths to sound,
Or pierce to either pole :
2 The world can never give
The bliss for which we sigh ;
'Tis not the whole of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.
3 Beyond this vale of tears
There is a life above,
Unmeasured by the flight of years,
And all that life is love :
S. M.
4 There is a death whose pang
Outlasts the fleeting breath;
O what eternal horrors hang
Around the second death !
5 Lord God of truth and grace,
Teach us that death to shun,
Lest we be banished from Thy face,
And evermore undone.
6 Here would we end our quest :
Alone are found in Thee
The life of perfect love, the rest
Of immortality.

2 Onward we go, for still we hear them singing,
" Come, weary souls, for Jesus bids you come ;"
And through the dark, its echoes sweetly ringing,
The music of the gospel leads us home. — ref.
3 Far, far away, like bells at evening pealing,
The voice of Jesus sounds o'er land and sea ;
And laden souls, by thousands meekly stealing,
Kind Shepherd, turn their weary steps to Thee. — ref.

4 Rest comes at length : though life be long and dreary,
The day must dawn, and darksome night be past ;
Faith's journeys end in welcomes to the weary,
And heaven, the heart's true home, will come at last. — ref.
5 Angels, sing on, your faithful watches keeping ;
Sing us sweet fragments of the songs above ;
Till morning's joy shall end the night of weeping,
And life's long shadows break in cloudless love. — ref.

2 There is a home for weary souls,
By sin and sorrow driven,
When tossed on life's tempestuous
shoals,
Where storms arise and ocean rolls,
And all is drear — 'tis heaven.
3 There faith lifts up her cheerful
eye,
The heart no longer riven ;
And views the tempest passing
by,
The evening shadows quickly
fly.
And all serene in heaven.
4 There fragrant flowers immortal
bloom,
And joys supreme are given ;
There rays Divine disperse the gloom ;
Beyond the confines of the tomb
Appears the dawn of heaven.

As the winged arrow flies
Speedily the mark to find,
As the lightning from the skies
Darts, and leaves no trace behind, —
Swiftly thus our fleeting days
Bear us down life's rapid stream ;
Upward, Lord, our spirits raise,
All below is but a dream.
3 Thanks for mercies past receive j
Pardon of our sins renew ;
Teach us henceforth how to live
With eternity in view ;
Bless Thy word to young and old ;
Fill us with a Saviour's love ;
And when life's short tale is told,
May we dwell with Thee above.

2 Jesus, merciful Redeemer,
Rouse dead souls to hear Thy voice
Wake, O wake each idle dreamer
Now to make the eternal choice.
3 As a shadow life is fleeting ;
As a vapor so it flies ;
For the old year now retreating
Pardon grant, and make us wise ;
4 Wise that we our days may number,
Strive and wrestle with our sin,
Stay not in our work, nor slumber
Till Thy glorious rest we win.
5 Soon before the Judge all glorious
We with all the dead shall stand :
Saviour, over death victorious,
Place us then on Thy right hand.
Rev. Edward Caswall, 1858: recast in Church Hymns, 1871

GREAT God, we sing that mighty
hand
By which supported still we stand ;
The opening year Thy mercy shows;
That mercy crowns it till it close.
By day, by night, at home, abroad,
Still are we guarded by our God ;
By His incessant bounty fed,
By His unerring counsel led.
With grateful hearts the past we
own ;
The future, all to us unknown,
We to Thy guardian care commit,
And peaceful leave before Thy feet.
In scenes exalted or depressed,
Thou art our Joy, and Thou our Rest ;
Thy goodness all our hopes shall raise,
Adored through all our changing days.
When death shall interrupt these songs,
And seal in silence mortal tongues ;
Our Helper God, in whom we trust,
In better worlds our souls shall boast.

And shall take His harvest home ;
From His field shall in that day
All offences purge away ;
Give His angels charge at last
In the fire the tares to cast,
But the fruitful ears to store
In His garner evermore.
Even so, Lord, quickly come
To Thy final harvest-home ;
Gather Thou Thy people in,
Free from sorrow, free from sin ;
There for ever purified,
In Thy presence to abide :
Come, with all Thine angels, come,
Raise the glorious harvest-home.

1 O GOD, beneath Thy guiding hand,
Our exiled fathers crossed the sea ;
And when they trod the wintry strand,
With prayer and psalm they worshipped
Thee.
2 Thou heard'st, well pleased, the song,
the prayer :
Thy blessing came ; and still its power
Shall onward, through all ages, bear
The memory of that holy hour.
1st 5 11. Rev. Charles T. Brooks, c. 1833:
the remainder, Rev. John S. Dwight, 1844
3 Laws, freedom, truth, and faith in God
Came with those exiles o'er the waves ;
And where their pilgrim feet have
trod,
The God they trusted guards their
graves.
4 And here Thy Name, O God of love,
Their children's children shall adore,
Till these eternal hills remove,
And spring adorns the earth no more.

PREFACE
T N obedience tc a continuous demand, these Selections from the Psalter
have been prepared for use in the services of the churches. The text
is that of the standard of the American Bible Society, except that words
there printed in italics are here given in the roman type, and that the
verses included in any selection are numbered consecutively, with a note to
show their numbering in the original Psalm. It has seemed best, on the
whole, that these Selections should be arranged for reading verse by verse,
rather than by the structural divisions within the verse. It is by verses,
and not by antiphons, that the Psalms have been learned ; and the verse-
divisions, while originally artificial, no doubt, now mark the natural and
familiar breaks in the rhythm of the Psalm, not only in the English Bible,
but in the memory and the heart. This arrangement has been decided
upon with the further thought, also, that if in the future a like selection
from the Psalter, pointed for chanting, shall be issued by the Board, this
arrangement for reading may correspond with that ; for the proper pointing
of the Psalms for chanting requires the verse-divisions.
The Psalms are here given in the order in which they occur in the
Scriptures. But, within the limits imposed by such an arrangement, the
effort has been made to give a certain unity, or at least manifest progres-
sion, of thought to each selection. The Gloria Patri is printed after the
Selections, and is arranged so that it may be either read or sung, in such
churches as desire to use it at the close of the reading.

i BLESSED is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth
in the seat of the scornful.
2 But his delight is in the law of the
Lord ; and in his law doth he meditate
day and night.
3 And he shall be like a tree planted
by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth
his fruit in his season ; his leaf also shall
not wither ; and whatsoever he doeth shall
prosper.
4 The ungodly are not so : but are like
the chaff which the wind driveth away.
5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand
in the judgment, nor sinners in the con-
gregation of the righteous.
6 For the Lord knoweth the way of
the righteous : but the way of the ungodly
shall perish.
Psalm 2
7 WHY do the heathen rage, and the
people imagine a vain thing ?
8 The kings of the earth set them-
selves, and the rulers take counsel to-
gether, against the Lord, and against his
Anointed, saying,
9 Let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.
10 He that sitteth in the heavens shall
laugh : the Lord shall have them in de-
rision.
1 1 Then shall he speak unto them in
his wrath, and vex them in his sore dis-
pleasure.
12 Yet have I set my King upon my
holy hill of Zion.
13 I will declare the decree : the Lord
hath said unto me, Thou art my Son ; this
day have I begotten thee.
14 Ask of me, and I shall give thee
the heathen for thine inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the earth for thy pos-
session.
1 5 Thou shalt break them with a rod
of iron ; thou shalt dash them in pieces
like a potter's vessel.
16 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings :
be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
17 Serve the Lord with fear, and re-
joice with trembling.
18 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and
ye perish from the way, when his wrath is
kindled but a little. Blessed are all they
that put their trust in him.
Psalm 4
19 HEAR me when I call, O God of
my righteousness : thou hast enlarged me
when I was in distress ; have mercy upon
me, and hear my prayer.
20 O ye sons of men, how long will
ye turn my glory into shame ? how long
will ye love vanity, and seek after leas-
ing ?
21 But know that the Lord hath set
apart him that is godly for himself : the
Lord will hear when I call unto him.
22 Stand in awe, and sin not ; com-
mune with your own heart upon your bed :
and be still.
23 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,
and put your trust in the Lord.
24 There be many that say, Who
will show us any good ? Lord, lift thou
up the light of thy countenance upon
us.
25 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,
more than in the time that their corn and
their wine increased.
26 I will both lay me down in peace,
and sleep : for thou, Lord, only makest
me dwell in safety.

I pray.
3 My voice shalt thou hear in the

4 For thou art not a God that hath

5 The foolish shall not stand in thy

8 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is
thy name in all the earth ! who hast set
thy glory above the heavens.
9 Out of the mouth of babes and suck-

of thine enemies, that thou mightest still
the enemy and the avenger.
10 When I consider thy heavens, the
work of thy fingers, the moon and the
stars, which thou hast ordained ;
1 1 What is man, that thou art mindful
of him ? and the son of man, that thou
visitest him ?
12 For thou hast made him a little
lower than the angels, and hast crowned
him with glory and honor.
13 Thou madest him to have domin-
ion over the works of thy hands ; thou
hast put all things under his feet :
14 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the
beasts of the field ;
1 5 The fowl of the air, and the fish of
the sea, and whatsoever passeth through
the paths of the seas.
16 O Lord our Lord, how excellent
is thy name in all the earth !
Psalm ii
17 IN the Lord put I my trust : how
say ye to my soul, Flee as a bird to your

18 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow,
they make ready their arrow upon the
string, that they may privily shoot at the
upright in heart.
19 If the foundations be destroyed,
what can the righteous do ?
20 The Lord is in his holy temple,
the Lord's throne is in heaven : his eyes
behold, his eyelids try, the children of
men.
21 The Lord trieth the righteous : but
the wicked and him that loveth violence
his soul hateth.
22 Upon the wicked he shall rain
snares, fire and brimstone, and a horrible
tempest : this shall be the portion of their
cup.
23 For the righteous Lord loveth right-

the upright.

earth and to the excellent, in whom is all

15 Their sorrows shall be multiplied
that hasten after another god : their drink
offerings of blood will I not offer, nor take
up their names into my lips.
16 The Lord is the portion of mine
inheritance and of my cup : thou main-
tainest my lot.
17 The lines are fallen unto me in
pleasant places ; yea, I have a goodly

20 Therefore my heart is glad, and
my glory rejoiceth : my flesh also shall
rest in hope.

One to see corruption.

11 I WILL love thee, O Lord, my

12 The Lord is my rock, and my
fortress, and my deliverer ; mv God,
my strength, in whom I will trust ; my
buckler, and the horn of my salvation,
and my high tower.
13 I will call upon the Lord, who is
worthy to be praised : so shall I be saved
from mine enemies.
14 The sorrows of death compassed
me, and the floods of ungodly men made
me afraid.
1 5 The sorrows of hell compassed me
about : the snares of death prevented
me.
16 In my distress I called upon the
Lord, and cried unto my God : he heard
my voice out of his temple, and my cry
came before him, even into his ears.
17 Then the earth shook and trem-
bled ; the foundations also of the hills
moved and were shaken, because he was
wroth.
18 There went up a smoke out of
his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth
devoured : coals were kindled by it.
19 He bowed the heavens also, and
came down : and darkness was under
his feet.
20 And he rode upon a cherub, and
did fly : yea, he did fly upon the wings
of the wind.
21 He made darkness his secret place ;
his pavilion round about him were dark
waters and thick clouds of the skies.
22 At the brightness that was before
him his thick clouds passed, hail stones
and coals of fire.
23 The Lord also thundered in the
heavens, and the Highest gave his voice ;
hail stones and coals of fire.
24 Yea, he sent out his arrows, and
scattered them ; and he shot out light-
nings, and discomfited them.
25 Then the channels of waters were
seen, and the foundations of the world
were discovered at thy rebuke, O Lord.
at the blast of the breath of thy nostrils.
26 He sent from above, he took me,
he drew me out of many waters.
27 He delivered me from my strong
enemy, and from them which hated me ;
for they were too strong for me.
28 They prevented me in the day of
my calamity : but the Lord was my stay.
29 He brought me forth also into a
large place ; he delivered me, because he
delighted in me.

people ; but wilt bring down high looks.
4 For thou wilt light my candle : the

word of the Lord is tried ; he is a buckler
to all those that trust in him.

who is a rock save our God ?

strength, and maketh my way perfect.
9 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet,

16 Which is as a bridegroom coming
out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a

17 His going forth is from the end of
the heaven, and his circuit unto the ends
of it : and there is nothing hid from the
heat thereof.
18 The law of the Lord is perfect,
converting the soul : the testimony of
the Lord is sure, making wise the simple.
19 The statutes of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart : the commandment
of the Lord is pure, enlightening the
eyes.
20 The fear of the Lord is clean, en-
during for ever : the judgments of the
Lord are true and righteous altogether.
21 More to be desired are they than
gold, yea, than much fine gold : sweeter
also than honey and the honeycomb.
22 Moreover by them is thy servant
warned : and in keeping of them there is
great reward.
23 Who can understand his errors ?
cleanse thou me from secret faults.
24 Keep back thy servant also from
presumptuous sins ; let them not have
dominion over me : then shall I be up-
right, and I shall be innocent from the
great transgression.
25 Let the words of my mouth, and
the meditation of my heart, be acceptable
in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and
my redeemer.

15 He fashioneth their hearts alike;

16 There is no king saved by the
multitude of a host : a mighty man is not
delivered by much strength.
17 A horse is a vain thing for safety :
neither shall he deliver any by his great
strength.
18 Behold, the eye of the Lord is
upon them that fear him, upon them that
hope in his mercy ;
19 To deliver their soul from death,
and to keep them alive in famine.
2© Our soul waiteth for the Lord: he

19 The wicked watcheth the righteous,

his hand, nor condemn him when he is
judged.
21 Wait on the Lord, and keep his
way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the
land : when the wicked are cut off, thou

22 I have seen the wicked in great
power, and spreading himself like a green
bay tree.
23 Yet he passed away, and, lo, he
was not : yea, I sought him, but he could
not be found.
24 Mark the perfect man, and behold
the upright : for the end of that man is
peace.
25 But the transgressors shall be
destroyed together: the end of the wicked
shall be cut off.
26 But the salvation of the righteous
is of the Lord : he is their strength in
the time of trouble.
27 And the Lord shall help them, and
deliver them ; he shall deliver them from

will keep my mouth with a bridle, while
the wicked is before me.
2 I was dumb with silence, I held my
peace, even from good ; and my sorrow
was stirred.
3 My heart was hot within me ; while
I was musing the fire burned: then spake
I with my tongue,
4 Lord, make me to know mine end,
and the measure of my days, what it is ;
that I may know how frail I am.
5 Behold, thou hast made my days
as a handbreath ; and mine age is as
nothing before thee : verily every man at
his best state is altogether vanity.
6 Surely every man walketh in a vain
show ; surely they are disquieted in vain :

who shall gather them.
7 And now, Lord, what wait I for?
my hope is in thee.

my feet upon a rock, and established my

speak of them, they are more than can
be numbered.

not desire ; mine ears hast thou opened :
burnt offering and sin offering hast thou
not required.
21 Then said I, Lo, I come: in the
volume of the book it is written of me,
22 I delight to do thy will, O my God,
yea, thy law is within my heart.
23 I have preached righteousness in

refrained my lips, O Lord, thou knowest.

them away.
15 Blessed is the man whom thou
choosest, and causest to approach unto

house, even of thy holy temple.
16 By terrible things in righteousness
wilt thou answer us, O God of our salva-
tion ; who art the confidence of all the
ends of the earth, and of them that are
afar off upon the sea :
1 7 Which by his strength setteth fast
the mountains ; being girded with power :
18 Which stilleth the noise of the seas,
the noise of their waves, and the tumult
of the people.
19 They also that dwell in the utter-
most parts are afraid at thy tokens : thou
makest the outgoings of the morning and
evening to rejoice.
20 Thou visitest the earth, and water-
est it : thou greatly enrichest it with the
river of God, which is full of water : thou
preparest them corn, when thou hast so
provided for it.
21 Thou waterest the ridges thereof
abundantly : thou settlest the furrows
thereof : thou makest it soft with showers :
thou blessest the springing thereof.
22 Thou crow nest the year with thy
goodness ; and thy paths drop fatness.
23 They drop upon the pastures of the
wilderness : and the little hills rejoice on
every side.
24 The pastures are clothed with
flocks ; the valleys also are covered over
with corn ; they shout for joy, they also
sing.

1 MAKE a joyful noise unto God, all
ye lands :
2 Sing forth the honor of his name :
make his praise glorious.
3 Say unto God, How terrible art thou
in thy works ! through the greatness of
thy power shall thine enemies submit
themselves unto thee.
4 All the earth shall worship thee, and

5 Come and see the works of God :
he is terrible in his doing toward the

6 He turned the sea into dry land :
they went through the flood on foot: there
did we rejoice in him.
7 He ruleth by his power for ever ; his
eyes behold the nations : let not the re-
bellious exalt themselves.
8 O bless our God, ye people, and
make the voice of his praise to be heard :
9 Which holdeth our soul in life, and
suffereth not our feet to be moved.
10 For thou, O God, hast proved us :
thou hast tried us, as silver is tried.
1 1 Thou broughtest us into the net ;
thou laidst affliction upon our loins.
12 Thou hast caused men to ride over
our heads ; we went through fire and
through water : but thou broughtest us
out into a wealthy place.
13 I will go into thy house with burnt
offerings : I will pay thee my vows,
14 Which my lips have uttered, and my
mouth hath spoken, when I was in trouble.
1 5 I will offer unto thee burnt sacri-

I will offer bullocks with goats.
16 Come and hear, all ye that fear
God, and I will declare what he hath done
for my soul.
17 I cried unto him with my mouth,
and he was extolled with my tongue.
18 If I regard iniquity in my heart,

righteously, and govern the nations upon

7 O God, when thou wentest forth be-
fore thy people, when thou didst march
through the wilderness ;
8 The earth shook, the heavens also
dropped at the presence of God : even
Sinai itself was moved at the presence of

9 Thou, O God, didst send a plentiful
rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine
inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Thy congregation hath dwelt there-

goodness for the poor.

13 Though ye have lain among the

Bashan; a high hill as the hill of Bashan.
16 Why leap ye, ye high hills ? this is
the hill which God desireth to dwell in ;
yea, the Lord will dwell in it for ever.
17 The chariots of God are twenty
thousand, even thousands of angels : the

holy place.
18 Thou hast ascended on high, thou
hast led captivity captive : thou hast re-
ceived gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious
also, that the Lord God might dwell
among them.
19 Blessed be the Lord, who daily
loadeth us with benefits, even the God of
our salvation.
20 Thy God hath commanded thy
strength : strengthen, O God, that which
thou hast wrought for us.
21 Because of thy temple at Jerusalem
shall kings bring presents unto thee.
22 Princes shall come out of Egypt ;
Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands
unto God.
23 Sing unto God, ye kingdoms of the
earth ; O sing praises unto the Lord ;
24 To him that rideth upon the heavens
of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth
send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.

1 TRULY God is good to Israel, even
to such as are of a clean heart.
2 But as for me, my feet were almost
gone ; my steps had well nigh slipped.
3 For I was envious at the foolish,
when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
4 For there are no bands in their
death : but their strength is firm.
5 They are not in trouble as other
men ; neither are they plagued like other
men.
6 Therefore pride compasseth them
about as a chain ; violence covereth them
as a garment.
7 Their eyes stand out with fatness :
they have more than heart could wish.
8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly
concerning oppression : they speak loftily.
9 They set their mouth against the
heavens, and their tongue walketh through
the earth.
10 Therefore his people return hither :
and waters of a full cup are wrung out to
them.
1 1 And they say, How doth God know?
and is there knowledge in the Most High ?
12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who
prosper in the world ; they increase in
riches.
13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in
vain, and washed my hands in innocency.
14 For all the day long have I been
plagued, and chastened every morning.

I should offend against the generation of
thy children.
x6 When I thought to know this, it

O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt

and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4 For a thousand years in thy sight
are but as yesterday when it is past, and
as a watch in the night.
5 Thou earnest them away as with a
flood ; they are as a sleep : in the morn-
ing they are like grass which groweth up.
6 In the morning it flourisheth, and
groweth up ; in the evening it is cut
down, and withereth.
7 For we are consumed by thine anger,
and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Thou hast set our iniquities before
thee, our secret sins in the light of thy
countenance.
9 For all our days are passed away in
thy wrath : we spend our years as a tale
that is told.
10 The days of our years are three-
score years and ten ; and if by reason of
strength they be fourscore years, yet is
their strength labor and sorrow ; for it
is soon cut off, and we fly away.
1 1 Who knoweth the power of thine
anger ? even according to thy fear, so is
thy wrath.
12 So teach us to number our days,
that wc may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Return, O Lord, how long ? and let
it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy ;
that we may rejoice and be glad all our
days.
1 5 Make us glad according to the days
wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the
years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Let thy work appear unto thy ser-
vants, and thy glory unto their children.
17 And let the beauty of the Lord our
God be upon us : and establish thou the
work of our hands upon us ; yea, the
work of our hands establish thou it.

snare of the fowler, and from the noisome
pestilence.

his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the
terror by night ; nor for the arrow that
flieth by day ;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh
in darkness ; nor for the destruction that
wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and
ten thousand at thy right hand ; but it
shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou be-
hold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord,
which is my refuge, even the Most High,

neither shall any plague come nigh thy
dwelling.

over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

8 They go up by the mountains ; they
go down by the valleys unto the place
which thou hast founded for them.

not pass over ; that they turn not again
to cover the earth.

ness in the morning ; for in thee do I
trust : cause me to know the way wherein
I should walk ; for I lift up my soul unto
thee.
19 Deliver me, O Lord, from mine
enemies : I flee unto thee to hide me.
20 Teach me to do thy will ; for thou
art my God : thy Spirit is good ; lead me
into the land of uprightness.
21 Quicken me, O Lord, for thy
name' s sake : for thy righteousness' sake
bring my soul out of trouble.

Psalm 144
1 BLESSED be the Lord my strength,
which teacheth my hands to war, and my
fingers to fight :
2 My goodness, and my fortress ; my
high tower, and my deliverer ; my shield,
and he in whom I trust ; who subdueth
my people under me.
3 Lord, what is man, that thou takest
knowledge of him ! or the son of man,
that thou makest account of him !
4 Man is like to vanity : his days are
as a shadow that passeth away.
5 Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come
down : touch the mountains, and they
shall smoke.
6 Cast forth lightning, and scatter
them : shoot out thine arrows, and de-
stroy them.
7 Send thine hand from above ; rid

ftfje psalter
me, and deliver me out of great waters,
from the hand of strange children ;
8 Whose mouth speaketh vanity, and
their right hand is a right hand of false-
hood.
9 I will sing a new song unto thee, O
God : upon a psaltery and an instrument
often strings will I sing praises unto thee.
10 It is he that giveth salvation unto
kings : who delivereth David his servant
from the hurtful sword.
1 1 Rid me, and deliver me from the
hand of strange children, whose mouth
speaketh vanity, and their right hand is
a right hand of falsehood :
12 That our sons may be as plants
grown up in their youth ; that our daugh-
ters may be as corner stones, polished
after the similitude of a palace :
13 That our garners may be full,
affording all manner of store ; that our
sheep may bring forth thousands and ten
thousands in our streets :
14 That our oxen may be strong to
labor ; that there be no breaking in, nor
going out ; that there be no complaining
In our streets.
15 Happy is that people, that is in
such a case : yea, happy is that people,
whose God is the Lord.
Psalm 146
16 PRAISE ye the Lord. Praise the
Lord, O my soul.
17 While I live will I praise the Lord :
I will sing praises unto my God while I
have any being.
18 Put not your trust in princes, nor
in the son of man, in whom there is no
help.
19 His breath goeth forth, he return-
eth to his earth ; in that very day his
thoughts perish.
20 Happy is he that hath the God of
Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the
Lord his God :
21 Which made heaven, and earth,
the sea, and all that therein is : which
keepeth truth for ever :
22 Which executeth judgment for the
oppressed : which giveth food to the hun-
gry. The Lord looseth the prisoners :
23 The Lord openeth the eyes of the
blind : the Lord raiseth them that are
bowed down : the Lord loveth the right-
eous :
24 The Lord preserveth the strangers ;
he relieveth the fatherless and widow :
but the way of the wicked he turneth
upside down.
25 The Lord shall reign for ever, even
thy God, O Zion, unto all generations.
Praise ye the Lord.

Psalm 145
1 I WILL extol thee, my God, O
King ; and I will bless thy name for
ever and ever.
2 Every day will I bless thee ; and I
will praise thy name for ever and ever.
3 Great is the Lord, and greatly to
be praised ; and his greatness is un-
searchable.
4 One generation shall praise thy
works to another, and shall declare thy
mighty acts.
5 I will speak of the glorious honor
of thy majesty, and of thy wondrous
works.
€» And men shall speak of the might
of thy terrible acts : and I will declare
thy greatness.
7 They shall abundantly utter the
memory of thy great goodness, and shall
sing of thy righteousness.
8 The Lord is gracious, and full of
compassion ; slow to anger, and of great
mercy.
9 The Lord is good to all : and his
tender mercies are over all his works.

Ety psalter
10 All thy works shall praise thee,
O Lord ; and thy saints shall bless
thee.
1 1 They shall speak of the glory of
thy kingdom, and talk of thy power ;
12 To make known to the sons of
men his mighty acts, and the glorious
majesty of his kingdom.
13 Thy kingdom is an everlasting
kingdom, and thy dominion endureth
throughout all generations.
14 The Lord upholdeth all that fall,
and raiseth up all those that be bowed
down.
1 5 The eyes of all wait upon thee ;
and thou givest them their meat in due
season.
16 Thou openest thine hand, and
satisfiest the desire of every living thing.
17 The Lord is righteous in all his
ways, and holy in all his works.
18 The Lord is nigh unto all them
that call upon him, to all that call upon
him in truth.
19 He will fulfil the desire of them
that fear him : he also will hear their cry,
and will save them.
20 The Lord preserveth all them
that love him : but all the wicked will he
destroy.
21 My mouth shall speak the praise
of the Lord : and let all flesh bless his
holy name for ever and ever.

Psalm 147
1 PRAISE ye the Lord : for it is
good to sing praises unto our God ; for
it is pleasant ; and praise is comely.
2 The Lord doth build up Jerusalem :
he gathereth together the outcasts of
Israel.
3 He healeth the broken in heart, and
bindeth up their wounds,
4 He telleth the number of the stars ;
he calleth them all by their names.
5 Great is our Lord, and of great
power : his understanding is infinite.
6 The Lord lifteth up the meek : he
casteth the wicked down to the ground.
7 Sing unto the Lord with thanks-
giving ; sing praise upon the harp unto
our God :
8 Who covereth the heaven with
clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth,
who maketh grass to grow upon the
mountains.
9 He giveth to the beast his food, and
to the young ravens which cry.
10 He delighteth not in the strength
of the horse : he taketh not pleasure in
the legs of a man.
1 1 The Lord taketh pleasure in them
that fear him, in those that hope in his
mercy.
12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem ;
praise thy God, O Zion.
1 3 For he hath strengthened the bars
of thy gates ; he hath blessed thy chil-
dren within thee.
14 He maketh peace in thy borders,
and filleth thee with the finest of the
wheat.
15 He sendeth forth his command-
ment upon earth : his word runneth very
swiftly.
16 He giveth snow like wool : he
scattereth the hoar frost like ashes.
17 He casteth forth his ice like mor-
sels : who can stand before his cold ?
18 He sendeth out his word, and melt-
eth them : he causeth his wind to blow,
and the waters flow.
19 He showeth his word unto Jacob,
his statutes and his judgments unto Is-
rael.
20 He hath not dealt so with any
nation : and as for his judgments, they
have not known them. Praise ye the
Lord,

ever and ever : he hath made a decree
which shall not pass.

things, and flying fowl :

people, the praise of all his saints ; even
of the children of Israel, a people near
unto him. Praise ye the Lord.

salvation.

let them sing aloud upon their beds.
20 Let the high praises of God be in
their mouth, and a twoedged sword in
their hand ;
21 To execute vengeance upon the
heathen, and punishments upon the peo-
ple ;
22 To bind their kings with chains,
and their nobles with fetters of iron ;
23 To execute upon them the judg-
ment written : this honor have all his
saints. Praise ye the Lord.

bals : praise him upon the high sounding
cymbals.

praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
